 you need to forecast fees in available kilobytes. not dollar price

 I'm using dollar here just to make a point. The space will always be limited, and that's the reason why we'll always find better solutions.

 the thing is you cannot use NgU to justify the ability to move a 0.01 utxo in the future. if anything, NgU will make the required fee, priced in bytes, more expensive

 Until something new (like segwit) will be introduced, due to NgU, I mean not just price but the price we pay per transaction. 

Necessity (more people, creating NgU, creating more usage) is the mother of invention (making the fees in sats cheaper again).

 segwit wasn't a significant improvement of scale. as long as block-size isn't hardforked, the demand for bytes will remain the same. if better alternatives materialize in the future it will STILL be expensive to move out of your current UTXO. there are no magics

 Still expensive but not the same amount of sats as of today, that's my whole point.
